Latin Grammy Nominees Announced

This morning at a press conference in Los Angeles, the nominees for the 9th Annual Latin GRAMMY® Awards were announced.
The award show is scheduled to take place on Nov.13 at the Toyota Center in Houston, and will be broadcast live on the Univision Network from 8 – 11 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. Central). (VivirLatino hasn’t made a decision if we will go this year as being locked in a basement with Univision peeps physically jumping in front of you so you can’t take pics/video doesn’t seem worth the expense).

Café Tacvba leads the nominations with six; Juanes and Gustavo Santaolalla garnered five nods each; Andrés Calamaro, Kany García and Julieta Venegas each received four nominations; 2008 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year Gloria Estefan, Victor Manuelle, Soraya Moraes, Ximena Sariñana, and Joan Sebastian are among those who earned three nods apiece. And a contingent of long-established artists and emerging music makers — including Pepe Aguilar, Maria Bethânia, Andrea Bocelli, Tego Calderón, Daddy Yankee, Plácido Domingo, Jose Feliciano, Vicente Fernández, Flex, Gilberto Gil, Alejandra Guzmán, Los Tigres Del Norte, Gian Marco, Manu Chao, Sergio Mendes, Molotov, Ednita Nazario, Laura Pausini, Maria Rita, Olga Tañón, Tito El Bambino, Caetano Veloso, and Wisin y Yandel — each earned nominations.

I was really impressed with Alejandra Alberti at the Jet nightclub inside the Mirage last night, having never heard her before. She was an incredible live performer and her family was so cute, cheering the Mexi-Cubana from the sidelines. She’s nominated tonight for Best New Artist. Good luck Alejandra!

Latin Grammy Countdown : Las Vegas Strip

As soon as I got off the plane at Las Vegas Mccarran Airport, I ran over to the Mandalay Bay to pick up my press credentials. The beautiful hotel was filled with fans lining up to see their favorite Latin artists in town for tonight’s Latin Grammy Awards. From there I took a quick walk through the South Strip hotels, to check into my own. Maybe because it was a weeknight, but the strip wasn’t as crowded as I expected it to be. After a quick costume change, it was off to the BMI official pre-party. More on that later. For now check out some strip pictures after the jump.

sorry for the late posting. I’ve been traveling since early this morning . Destination : Vegas Baby! The first leg of my Northwest Airline flight was lovely. Now I have a few hours to kill in Detriot between flights.

I’ll likely be stopping at the Jose Cuervo Tequileria (pictured). What you can’t see is a big sign inside that says:

Amigo Bebe porque el tiempo es Breve

…or something like that.

Salud and see you in Vegas!!

Voz Veis, Como se llega a Belen, Best Latin Children’s Album .

They are also nominated for Best Short Form Video, also on the Navidad tip.

I’m biased against Christmas music being nominated for major music awards but also maybe I’m annoyed that with Halloween just finishing, already I’m seeing Christmas being pushed heavy in the stores.

Labios Compartidos
Maná
Pablo Croce, video director; Felipe Niño, video producer

I know I’m gonna piss off alot of people here but doesn’t alot of what Mana does sound the same? Regardless, they are a force to be reckoned with and have a good chance of winning this award.
